Pros

The work Renaissance is doing around individualized instruction, student learning and and teacher support is incredible. The company truly is focused on education, student success and teacher success. I have not worked for a company where they take their mission more seriously. The knowledge that the work we do here is really focused on a greater good is seen throughout the organization.

Cons

The challenge Renaissance is facing is that there are many employees so deeply invested in the visionary mission, willing to go above and beyond every single day, that they seriously risk burning out and loosing great talent. Renaissance is definitely a hard charging, ground breaking organization focused on a single mission, however, at some point supporting the mission becomes more than some employees can survive. Many employees tolerate long hours, average pay, and go with large unused PTO, because they believe in the mission, Renaissance needs to figure out how to bring some balance.

Thank you very much for writing this thoughtful review of Renaissance. I appreciate your comments about the organization’s purpose and how we manage the workload. As managers and leaders, I believe one of the most important things we can do for our team members is help prioritize and, as much as possible, balance their workload. I think it can be helpful for you to talk with your manager to ensure you are aligned on team priorities and goals, and I would be very happy to chat as well – call me any time. Thanks again for your feedback. — Daniel Hamburger, CEO

Pros

Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

Cons

The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
